Reviews

As a former FBI agent and retired federal prosecutor, and now a current writer, I am a slave to facts. Facts tell the story as it should be told. I applaude Alan Geautreaux for his attention to detail and facts. A writer should drag the reader back in time so they can be a witness, albeit, years later. -- Sal Perricone Sal Perricone As a former FBI agent and retired federal prosecutor, and now a current writer, I am a slave to facts. Facts tell the story as it should be told. I applaude Alan Geautreaux for his attention to detail and facts. A writer should drag the reader back in time so they can be a witness, albeit, years later. If that is accomplished, the writer has done his job. In Bloodstained Louisiana, the writer has done his job impeccably. I am familiar with some of the cases discussed, but after reading those cases, I learned things I haven't known until now. Great job! Thank you. -- Sal Perricone
